Your parents are giving you $190 a month for 4 years while you are in college. At an interest rate of .45 percent per month, what are these payments worth to you when you first start college?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Amount [tex]= 2827.2[/tex] dollars

Explanation:

Given

principal amount per month [tex]= 190[/tex]

Total time period [tex]= 4[/tex] years [tex]= 48[/tex] months

Monthly rate of interest [tex]= 0.45[/tex]

As we know that

[tex]A = P * (1+ \frac{r}{n}) ^{nt}[/tex]

Where A is the amount

P is the principal amount

r is the rate of interest

n is the number of times interest applied over the total time period

t is the total time period

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

[tex]A = (190 * 12) * ( 1 + 0 .0045)^{48}\\A = 2280 * 1.24\\A = 2827.2[/tex]
